Doctors’ responses
Yes sometimes Medhohara vati can aggravate vata leading to dry stools — constipation So take triphala churna- 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime Drink plenty of fluids warm water throughout the day Include fruits in your diet Avoid spicy sour non veg processed foods Along with that add Abhaya aristha-4 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food
It is common to consider natural remedies to manage side effects, and Triphala powder is a well-known Ayurvedic remedy for constipation due to its mild laxative properties.
Interestingly, the ingredients of certain Medohar Vati formulations often already include Triphala (Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki), which supports digestion and detoxification.
Other Suggestions to Help with Constipation:
Constipation in Ayurveda is often associated with the aggravation of Vata Dosha (characterized by dryness and coldness). The goal is to introduce warmth, moisture, and good fats.
Increase Warm Water Intake: Drink plenty of lukewarm or warm water throughout the day.
Healthy Fats (Ghee/Oil): Consider taking 1-2 teaspoons of Ghee (clarified butter) in a cup of warm milk or warm water at bedtime. Ghee provides lubrication for the intestines.
Dietary Fiber: Increase your intake of cooked, easy-to-digest fibrous vegetables and fruits (like cooked apples, pears, peaches, soaked raisins, or soaked figs/prunes). Avoid too many dry, cold, or raw foods.
Exercise: Gentle, regular physical activity, like a daily walk, can help stimulate the digestive system.
If you choose to use Triphala after it is traditionally taken:
At night: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder mixed with a cup of warm water, often about 30 minutes before bed
Triphala churna is a very good choice in your case. It balances Vata–Pitta–Kapha, improves digestion (agni), and gently relieves constipation without dependency.
